THE New York Post is driven to the last ex-
tremity. 1t is forced to admit that the admin
istration is weaker and the prospects of the
Democratic party poorer in the next camgaign
for the favor shown to German in Maryland;
but even yet the poor mugwump organ has an
excuse for its fallen idol. 1t suggests that, as
the temperance lecturer likes to have his hor
rible example to show the terrible conse-
caences Of the vice which ne condemns, so
s'tho President may have thought that a dis
xiay of the spoils system in its most odious
form. in some conspicuous place like Balti-
rsore, might. by contrast with the merit sys-
tenn elsewhere, form the most effective object
lesson which could be set before the country"
The most impressive object lesson the coun-
try has had in recent years is given by
respectable newspaper which withdrew from

the affairs of the universe from an "independ-
emit" attitude and gradually drifted into i'm

advocate of the claims of Mr.. Blaine to the
presidential nomination OF 1883, speaks of
Senator Sherman as the greatest Republican
in actual public life and says:

issue between their friends throughout the
country. What the mass of Republicans want
Is the strongest possible nomination in 1883

The kentucky election takes place on next
Monday. The Democrats will doubtless carry
the State, but from present indications they
will not pile up anything like their usual ma
iority. The Republicans have been making
vigorous canvass, and Bradley, their candi-
date for Governor has been stirring up the
Democratic animals in very lively fashion.
The Republicans expect to carry the city of

THE President is reported to be very anx-
ious that there shall not be another mistake
In the appointment of a clerk to the position
made vacant by the forgery of horse-claims
Harvey, and to this end he has retired to
Oakview, taking with him the papers of the
80 applicants for the position for the pur-
pose of examining them carefully. The
President, to put it mildly is very silly, and
shows his narrow conception of the duties of
his office in wasting so much time upon the
appointment of a man TO a minor Office. 1t is
very commendable, of course, that he should
desire to have a trustworthy man in every
position of responsibility, and with the I'M
fortunate experience he has had in giving
places to Democrats of ill-repute, it is not to
be wondered at that be should feel some
anxiety when a new man is to be appointed.
What does he expect to gain, however, by
study of the papers in each easel He should
have learned by this time that certificate of
character is proof that man is not
cal. and that the worst sort of Democratic
"heeler' may come armed with the highest
party recommendations. Is there no one
from the State or district from which
Mr.. Cleveland wishes to choose Har-
vey's successor, whom he can trust to
recommend an honest and capable man. and
thus save himself vast amount of clerical
work. He hardly expect to have himself
a personal knowledge of the thousands of Off
eials who come under the head of ''presiden-
tal7 appointments, and until all such subordi
nate positions as that lately held by Harvey
come to be elassed under the eivil-serviee rules,
the old method Of accepting the persons rec
commended by Senators, Congressman or
heads OF the various departments can hardly
be improved on. II would be better that all
such clerks should be appointed solely upon
their merits. Is ascertained by special examin-
alton, but IN the absence Of such test the
